Moffie
Based on the novel by André Carl van der Merwe, Moffie (a disparaging Afrikaans name for a gay man) tells the narrative of Nicholas van der Swart, who realizes at a very young age that he is unique. He is unable to live up to the masculine image his family and ancestry expect of him. At the age of 19, he gets drafted into the South African army and finds that every aspect of his sensibilities are outraged by a system that is close to collapse but yet in full force. This is a long-awaited account of the emotional and physical anguish faced by countless young men during the South African border struggle against communism.
